Technically this is almost 2 weeks ago too because I hadn’t posted it earlier in the week like I had planned.

*note - I got this with a bunch of other 1973 Topps cards from my cousin Sluggo.  He purchased a bunch for his set and sent me his dupes for my set (see below) and this was in there but since I fill my player collections first, it goes here.

• This card puts me at 5.81% for the set.

*note – I actually picked this up for the Tom Seaver collection. I made the mistake of not checking my list before I purchased it. It didn’t look familiar, so I didn’t bother checking it.

1954 Topps

Vintage collection

Free

• This is my first card from the 1954 Topps set.
• This card puts me at .40% for the 1954 set.

*note – I got this free from a contest held at “$30 a week habit”. I was shocked and extremely happy to win it. Thanks Robert.

1973 Topps

Vintage collection

Free

• These cards put me at 421 cards for the 1973 set.
• These cards put me at 63.79% for the set.

*note – These are the cards I mentioned above from Sluggo.  He’s my cousin and sends me cards (usually White Sox) all the time.  He does shows and buys out collections from people so he comes across cards all the time.  Luckily for me, he’s generous enough to give them to me, pretty much free.  I send him what little I have that aren’t part of my collection and all my penny sleeves and top loaders because I don’t use them and he still just keeps sending me cards and I’m not going to complain.
